Psalm 129-131

Psalm 129-131New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 129

A song of ascents.

1 “They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,”let Israel say;2 “they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,but they have not gained the victory over me.3 Plowmen have plowed my backand made their furrows long.4 But the Lord is righteous;he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”

5 May all who hate Zionbe turned back in shame.6 May they be like grass on the roof,which withers before it can grow;7 a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,nor one who gathers fill his arms.8 May those who pass by not say to them,“The blessing of the Lord be on you;we bless you in the name of the Lord.”

Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

1 Out of the depths I cry to you,Lord;2 Lord, hear my voice.Let your ears be attentiveto my cry for mercy.

3 If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,Lord, who could stand?4 But with you there is forgiveness,so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

5 I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,and in his word I put my hope.6 I wait for the Lordmore than watchmen wait for the morning,more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord,for with the Lord is unfailing loveand with him is full redemption.8 He himself will redeem Israelfrom all their sins.

Psalm 131

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 My heart is not proud,Lord,my eyes are not haughty;I do not concern myself with great mattersor things too wonderful for me.2 But I have calmed and quieted myself,I am like a weaned child with its mother;like a weaned child I am content.
